After furthering his education and experience in the United States, Chen returned to Asia, traveling between China and Taiwan both acting in and producing a variety of projects. This work included great acclaim for his performance as a husband who confesses his love his ill wife, in Fox China's "The Missing Half." In 2021, Chen portrayed the mastermind professor in Netflix's popular Taiwanese fantasy drama, "The Devil Punisher," where he gained more experience towards his desire to work in action-oriented material, by doing all his own stunt work.
